Stretchy super soft PJ pants, breastfeeding singlets, toiletries and apple juice. Apple juice mixed with water was a life saver during labour, keeps you hydrated and gives you some energy and if you throw up it tastes much the same. Change for bub, lip gloss (lots of puffing going on).

Soap, shampoo, conditioner to shower after. Then my PJs to come home in as I went straight home and of course nappies and something warm to bring my beautiful son home in. This time round though I haven’t packed anything yet – only 3 weeks to go.

Currently pregnant with my second and have already started putting things aside. Maternity pads and breast pads…. lots of them! Also paw paw ointment and a few pairs of PJs, aside from the obvious things like toiletries and baby things.

Salty plums (those who don’t know what they are – they are a Chinese dried plum with salt) – more Territorians would know about them!

Lots of onesies because my daughter exploded in her nappy when she did her 1st couple of poo’s that it leaked everywhere and she went thru a lot of clothing! I ended up having an emergency c section so the midwives changed her for me as I couldn’t move! Also stretchy PJ bottoms/pants for if you do have to have a C section you can?t stand having tight things around your middle!
